Wattner has acquired a 9.2MW solar system, which will be constructed across five of Germany-based Opel’s rooftops. Wattner secured EWT SolServ for the construction and installation of the project, which will use nearly 40,000 solar modules and 500 inverters. The energy produced from the project will be fed directly into Opel’s corporate grid.

Furthermore, Wattner additionally obtained two more solar parks. Fuerstenwalde near Berlin will have a 3.5MW capacity, with an investment value of €6.5 million while the Harbke solar plant in Saxony-Anhalt will generate 4.9MW of solar electricity and hold an investment fund of almost €10 million.
